#pocket master

Proto Cu is getting loud, fast. He doesn't want to make a grab for Master, in case that puts more pressure on their body, but seriously! Oi! Put them back down, you can't just grab people like that, geez!

He....admittedly wants to scoop Master up as soon as they're down, too, but he catches himself just as his hands hover around them. He'll ask if they're okay, let them hold onto his hand if they want, move them to a room without people, or cuddle. Whatever they need to feel safe after that.

Lancer Cu also shouts, but his voice lowers and he's not as frantic as Proto. Put the Master down slowly. Now. No, this ain't up for debate, do it. He will look as mean as he has to while doing this. The only exception of course being if this is a child Servant, but even then, he'll be quick to correct them.

Then he's crouching down, keeping Master shielded as he checks on them, asks what they need, give them any pats or cuddles they need. Hell, if it's space, he'll be a good guard dog make sure nobody gets too close until they're ready.

Caster Cu is quieter, but he's fast too, moving close enough to catch Master as he tells the other person it's not okay to just grab them like that, geez, how would you like it if you were the one getting snatched up?

He'll have them hand Master off, let them sit in his hand as he moves them down to a better platform. Are you alright, Master? Need anything? Really, it's a similar story to the last two.\

Cu Alter is the least forgiving. There's a good chance he'll give an honest to god growl. And an equally high chance that he'll be willing to snap wrists if they don't hand Master over now. Luckily for people's wrists, nobody wants to test him.

- So small! Master, how did you get to be this size? You can fit in her hand!

- She doesn't have a means of dispelling whatever has happened to make Master like this, so she'll just make sure they're alright. It's a samurai's duty to defend their lord, after all!

- She's speedy, and despite her often jovial attitude, she's careful when transporting Master around. If there's an emergency they need to be present for, or escorted away from, she'll have them where they need to be in a blink.

- Ushiwaka can also err towards bossy, when it comes to Master's safety. Stop yelling! Don't roughhouse with them in the room! STOP throwing things, what if you hit them? She's joined the ranks of Master defence squad.

- She forgets about the issue of size difference when it comes to beds and food, until directly confronted by them. Then she has to approach the kitchen crew for help, perhaps leaving Master in responsible Emiya's hands while she goes sort out the bed situation. They certainly can't share with anyone, what if they get crushed?

This idea is pretty funny, haha.

- Really, it's a relatively safe place to be! Edmond is mindful not to make any sudden movements, and good luck to anyone trying to get an unexpected hit on him.

- It's warm and dark, too, and his hair is a little coarse, but ultimately soft. Not a bad place to sit or lie down.

- Just don't show him Ratatouille, or he'll start pulling faces and grumbling. 'Don't even think about pulling my hair, Master.'

- Admittedly, he feels a little more at ease when Master is with him, hat or no. He doesn't trust most people, so he'd rather keep an eye on Master himself. In hand, under hat, in pocket.

- He's not as eager to chauffeur Master around and sit through entertainment, but he'll make sure they're in a safe spot, usually do his own thing as Master does theirs.

A Non-Comprehensive List Of An Absolute Cuddle-Fest

- Marie would be more than happy to scoop up Master for some good old snuggles. She's careful, of course, but how could she resist! Master is so cute like this!

- Most of the Chulainns are concerned with falling asleep and squashing Master, or are generally too antsy. Caster Cu doesn't mind, though, and he's certainly a warm cuddle buddy

- Jeanne Ruler wouldn't mind at all. It's nice to have some relaxing time together. Talking, watching something, listening to music, or just in comfortable silence, it's a peaceful time.

- Fran wouldn't mind at all. She does find Master rather cute like this, and...admittedly, she is still easing into the idea of touching people. She spent most of her existence being feared, so naturally she's both touch-starved and a bit anxious. It's not so intimidating when Master is this little.

- Bedivere would be a bit shy about it, and more likely Master would have to ask first. But he wouldn't mind letting them cuddle up in his down time. (This may be a ploy on Master's end to get him to relax and stop stressing about making their tiny life easier.)

Yan Qing can't help but worry that his Master is going to do something reckless. He understands that they aren't helpless or made of glass, but they're sure limited this way! Don't hesitate to ask him for some help, alright, Master? He's serious!

- He definitely gets protective, too. He won't just grab them up or get loud, but the looks he gives people are enough to kill on their own, and he does hover more than he'd admit. Sorry, Master, transportation is also non-negotiable. It would take you forever, and you're too easy to trample right now!

- He can't prevent Master from doing their job, though. At least as far as conducting Servants and keeping everyone in line. Hell just have to make sure he's good backup if everything goes south, he supposes.

Izou finds it sort of funny, but also inconvenient. Come on, Master, he's not a taxi service! He's a man-slayer! You better have coin to share if you want to get hauled around everywhere.

- Even then, everyone better be very careful. If someone laid a finger wrong on Master, they're losing their hand. Them's just the breaks, sorry. On that note, don't you dare talk down to Master just because they're tiny. He'll cut anyone who condescends to them right in two!

- Kintoki is actually very careful with Master. He's enthusiastic, and might be a little rough on accident. But when he's actually focused on looking after them, he's more slow and deliberate with his movements. He might get a little loud and worked up if anyone is careless around them, though. He...will also do his best to get them miniature riding gear so he can still take them on joy rides.

- Heracles may be quite wild, but we know his track record with tiny Masters. This is just extra tiny! He can hold them in one hand without fear of letting them fall, easy. And overall, it's safe...just keep him away from anything that might set him off, or there's a risk of being dropped. Or worse, he might clench his fist. Better not to leave them in his care and just thank him for any concern.

- Mori finds it a bit hilarious. Master's so tiny now! Look, look! They can fit inside his helmet all on its own! He seems to vacillate between threatening and protection, but luckily the more of a bond Master has with him, the more care he'll take. Keep out of the way and you'll be fine, Master! Just don't stay in his helmet too long, okay? He might forget they're in there and cram it on!

(Mun's note to say I'm afraid I don't really have a grasp on Barghest's personality, so I'm afraid I won't be including her! I hope that's okay <3)

- Emiya wouldn't be caught double-dead letting his Master starve just because they're tiny. So help him, he is going to make the smallest perfect servings he can find. Sure, he has to use a set of tiny sake dishes as a plates, but at least Master has something to eat from! He is realizing rapidly though that they can't use utensils...the solution here is to project very tiny utensils. Genius.

- Boudica is working right there with Emiya to make good dishes. Soup with finely minced ingredients seems like a fair bet! Things like mash potatoes as well, that can easily have appropriate serving sizes cut out. Breadstuffs are a bit trickier, but manageable. They'll figure this out for sure!
